Bad breath, or halitosis, is caused by several factors. Causes of bad breath include the food you eat, poor dental hygiene, or other unhealthy lifestyle habits. When you eat foods with strong odors, it absorbs into your bloodstream and carries to your lungs, which affects your breath. Poor dental hygiene is also a characterization of bad breath. Failing to brush and floss allows bacteria to grow in between your teeth, around your gums, and on your tongue. Occasionally, bad breath is a sign of another health problem, such as gum disease, dry mouth, or cavities.
If you follow these tips, bad breath will become a thing of the past. Always remember to practice good oral hygiene, and you will eliminate many oral problems before they even begin.
Once you have had your braces taken off, remember to take proper care of your retainer. Clean it with a spare toothbrush every time you brush your teeth, and use a disinfectant on it at least once a week.
